Review: Basia Lyjak - Don't Talk

Basia Lyjak - Don't Talk2008, Basia Lyjak

Don't Talk is the latest single from Toronto's Basia Lyjak. It's a Chrissie Hynde meets Gwen Stefani post-punk/pop tune that dances over the edges of the modern rock precipice with a pop sensibility that's so strong it literally moves your feet for you. Lyjak is at her best here, projecting just the right amount of attitude and power-rock energy to accentuate her bigger-than-life voice. Don't Talk is the first new single since 2007's Writings On The Wall, and if it's any indication of what's to come, Basia Lyjak just keeps getting better and better.
